So far, my Mastodon presence has mostly been about cats and hobbies, but I also have activist history. In my Twitter days I followed accounts dealing with #vawg, domestic abuse and highlighting mostly male-perpetrated violent crimes against women. I have not been able to find equivalent Mastodon accounts tackling these crucial areas but I'd very much like to boost these topics.
So, does anyone reading this know of Mastodon accounts tackling these subjects?

And we need publicised, detailed statistics to prove change is coming.
But look at the answers to these FOI requests from last year.
Apparently, it costs too much to look into #VAWG, so the police won't do it. What are we to make of that?

“Women come into contact with the police at moments of incredible vulnerability and trauma – exploiting those moments and abusing power heaps further pain on to those experiences."

Gosh it’s been a day #VAWG locally the #Parks in #Southampton are not safe for #Women - it’s been a problem for years.
It’s not getting better if anything it’s getting worse.
I don’t know the solution but more needs to be done by #Police and city #Council.
I’m fed up of #Women not being safe in the city to walk home.
I have to do something.
